1 Ohio Academic Standards Addressed By Zoo Program WINGED WONDERS: SEED DROP Program description: Discover whether all seeds fall at the same rate. Do small or big seeds fall more slowly? Students will use inquiry to discover answers to these and other questions. Ohio Science Standards addressed by this program, organized by grade band and then standard: GRADES K-2 Standard: Life Sciences Benchmark A: Discover that there are living things, non-living things and pretend things, and describe the basic needs of living things (organisms). 1. Explore differences between living and non-living things (e.g., plant-rock) Benchmark B: Explain how organisms function and interact with their physical environment. 5. Investigate observable features of plants and animals that help them live in different kinds of places. 6. Investigate the different structures of plants and animals that help them live in different environments (e.g., lungs, gills, leaves and roots). Standard: Physical Science Benchmark A: Discover that many objects are made of parts that have different characteristics. Describe these characteristics and recognize ways an object may change. 2. Examine and describe objects according to the materials that make up the object (e.g., wood, metal, plastic and cloth.) 3. Describe and sort objects by one or more properties (e.g., size color and shape). 1. Classify objects according to the materials they are made of and their physical properties
2 3. Explore and observe that things can be done to materials to change their properties (e.g., heating, freezing, mixing, cutting, wetting, dissolving, bending and exposing to light.) 4. Explore changes that greatly change the properties of an object (e.g., burning paper) and changes that leave the properties largely unchanged (e.g., tearing paper) Benchmark B: Recognize that light, sound and objects move in different ways. 4. Explore that things can be made to move in many different way such as straight, zigzag, up and down, round and round, back and forth, or fast or slow. 5. Investigate ways to change how something is moving (e.g., push, pull) 6. Investigate a variety of ways to make things move and what causes them to change speed, direction and/or stop. Standard: Science and Technology Benchmark A: Explain why people, when building or making something, need to determine what it will be made of, how it will affect other people and the environment. 1. Explore that objects can be sorted as natural or man-made. 2. Explore that some materials can be used over and over again (e.g., plastic or glass containes, cardboard boxes and tubes). 3. Identify some materials that can be saved for community recycling projects (e.g., newspapers, glass and aluminum.) Benchmark B: Explain that to construct something requires planning, communication, problem solving and tools. 3. Explore that each kind of tool has an intended use, which can be helpful or harmful (e.g., scissors can be used to cut paper but they can also hurt you). 2. Explain that when trying to build something or get something to work better, it helps to follow directions and ask someone who has done it before. 6. Investigate that tools are used to help make things and some things cannot be made without tools. 7. Explore that several steps are usually needed to make things (e.g., building with blocks). Standard: Scientific Inquiry Benchmark A: Ask a testable question.

Recognize that explanations are generated in response to observations, events and phenomena. 9. Use whole numbers to order, count, identify, measure and describe things and experiences. 10. Share explanations with others to provide opportunities to ask questions, examine evidence and suggest alternative explanations. Standard: Scientific Ways of Knowing Benchmark A: Recognize that there are different ways to carry out scientific investigations. Realize that investigations can be repeated under the same conditions with similar results and may have different explanations. 1. Recognize that scientific investigations involve asking open-ended questions. (How? What if?) 2. Recognize that people are more likely to accept your ideas if you can give good reasons for them. 1. Discover that when a science investigation is done the same way multiple times, one can expect to get very similar results each time it is performed. 2. Demonstrate good explanations based on evidence from investigations and observations. 1. Describe that scientific investigations generally work the same way under the same conditions. Benchmark B: Recognize the importance of respect for all living things. 3. Interact with living things and the environment in ways that promote respect. Benchmark C: Recognize that diverse groups of people contribute to our understanding of the natural world. 4. Demonstrate ways science is practiced by people everyday (children and adults) 3. Explain that everybody can do science, invent things and have scientific ideas no matter where they live.
5 2. Explain why scientists review and ask questions about the results of other scientists work. 4. Demonstrate that in science it is helpful to work with a team and share findings with others GRADES 3-5 Standard: Life Sciences Benchmark B: Analyze plant and animal structures and functions needed for survival and describe the flow of energy through a system that all organisms use to survive. 3.
